Directions

Prep dry beans according to package instructions. I boil mine and let them soak all day.

Heat olive oil in a frying pan on low. Saute garlic, onions and carrots for 5-10 minutes. Add tomatoes, black beans, and all spices. Add some water or a splash of vegetable broth and let simmer for 30-40 minutes on low heat.

You could also throw everything in a slow cooker, although I would still saute onions, garlic and carrots beforehand.
